NBA Season Preview: OKC Thunder

[Seatownbro12]

Look I have nothing against Thunder fans people. But we had the Sonics for 41 years. Kevin Durant is not breaking Sonics franchise records. He 's creating Thunder history. This whole shared history thing is bullshit. Those retired jerseys and numbers you have? Gary Payton? Shawn Kemp? All played in Seattle. Which jerseys are hanging in your arena? Nobody. Just remember this, that 1979 Championship trophy was won in SEATTLE. Also, who drafted Kevin Durant? That's right. The Seattle Supersonics

[2m0rrownevapromised]

Everybody thinks the thunder will b in the finals? Nah,the finals will be the Wizards vs Sacremento Kings. This is the boldest youtube comment ever,I know.Thumbs up for the world to see? lol

[Jqxv]

sick team, my second fav, first being Clips

[Tina85ok]

Being from OKC, we LOVE our Thunder!!!! :)))

[pikapoketpu]

Thunder-vs Wizards will be a romp

[KakaStaynz]

Serge IBlockYa. this is thunder's year.

[Shmiggle2000]

this is the year of the thunder

[LivesAmongWolves]

5-0 baby keep it up!

[crosseyekiller5]

the fact is they need someone better than perk. i was dissapointed that they passed on tyson chandler, wait do they have cap space for him?

[MegaMilesC]

Seattle Drafted Durant. Bennett stole Sonics. Save Our Sonics

[ImKruuzz]

@MegaMilesC ur not getting ur sonics back. suck some OKC cock

[Seatownbro12]

@ImKruuzz Can't wait till we meet you in the Finals someday when we have a team. Seatown will kick some Thunder ass.

[ImKruuzz]

@Seatownbro12 get a team first.

[hey12358y]

What in the world is Chris Webber talking about? Perkins is an excellent post defender. "Fit is the players you got around him?" Perkin's injury in the 09-10 Finals cost the Celtics a second championship, and his trade saw them immediately become a lesser team. Not to mention he always played his best when it counts, unlike a certain former Kings power forward I could name.

[TheAbielBeluts]

Perkins travelled @0:41...I swear refs in the NBA don't call shit.

[Shmiggle2000]

@TheAbielBeluts i think you mean 1:41

[iHypeTV]

He said Perkins will be better because of the veterans they have around him?! He does know Perkins is basically the oldest dude on that team and the only one with a ring right?

[durtX43]

This team will be great this season, they will rule the West. From a Lakers fan.

[PANTERAcfhGETCHAPULL]

Punk ass owners selling a team with so much skill, Thunder sounds like a WNBA team so disrespectful to a classic franchise.

[free24ride1]

Thunder is a talented team

[zhen86]

first time I like the ads

[Tina85ok]

GO THUNDER!!!!!

[iveayu]

TRADE FOR CP3

[NorCalibrator]

@iveayu shutup.

[iveayu]

@NorCalibrator Why hate? Cp3 is obviously a better fit/player than Russel westbrook

[NorCalibrator]

@iveayu because who are they going to trade for him? they would be giving up WAY to much to give away westbrook and someone else, or even just durant is way to much.

[iveayu]

@NorCalibrator Westbrook+Nate rob+Sefolosha for Chris Paul? Not a bad deal imo =/

[artery44]

@iveayu if i was hte hornets i wudnt take dat.. look at wat they asked from the clippers lol kaman, eric gorodn, bledsoe, 2012 first round draft pick (unprotected) and aminu. dats 2 starters/ stars and 2 potentials starters

[iveayu]

@artery44 If CP3 ask for the trade, it would happen imo. Look at Carmelo.

[artery44]

@iveayu but didnt cp ask to be traded to be like any team

[DPRProductions49]

Go Thunder!!!

[tothebeaty0]

i think Billups would be a pretty good addition for them, to teach RW a thing or two... =D

[KD35COLLECTOR]

@tothebeaty0 Who the hell wants a old ass billups

[tothebeaty0]

so far, this team is not adding someone who can make an impact? like a scoring PF.

[BasketballLover173]

Like the Bulls this team is just a decent 2 guard away from being a complete team and they just need like 1 more season of experience and they'll be able to compete with anyone. I can't wait to see them play against Miami, L.A and Dallas again. I'm not a Thunder fan but this team is exciting, full of depth and very talented

[LucidRock09]

@BasketballLover173 James Harden.. nuff said

[BasketballLover173]

@LucidRock09 I thought he was a small forward or power forward As a non-Thunder fan I'm not too familiar with their roster, and I do know that Thabo Sepholosia (can't spell his name right at the moment) was their starting SG who wasn't a high scorer at all

[doubledutch6rudder]

@BasketballLover173 sefolosha was their starting sg and very limited offensively but an excellent defender. James Harden is a shooting who is arguably the best play maker on their team. He is kind of player that would fit on any team. Great shooter, playmaker and great at attacking the basket

[BasketballLover173]

@doubledutch6rudder Ok interesting well thanks for you insight and knowledge on this improving and respectable team. All your points made sense and I'm a Laker fan by the way

[MrMattgreider]

They don't have a shot blocker? I guess nobody knows who Serge Ibaka is. TNT honestly has nobody who truly knows basketball from an analyst standpoint.

[PotC112]

Go Thunder !!!



[joro808]

yeah if they want to go back and get another center off the east i think javale mcgee would be a great fit but dont see the wiz lettin em go

[MsGangstaSwagga]

Kendrick perkins = the worst trade the boston celtics made last year

[joro808]

"They Need a shot blocker in oklahoma well im pretty sure Serge Ibaka was top 5 in the league in blocks per game

[ps3rox]

@joro808

that's their only shot blocker, they also need a center who can do the same.

[MrMattgreider]

@ps3rox How many teams have both? Pretty much none. They don't need a shot blocking center.

[Akoiah1]

omg c webb. ibaka is one of the best shot blockers in the league, and its not like perkins is bad on defense. but anyway, solid all around starting lineup for the thunder, just need a better bench.

[matassatk1]

finals gonna be

OKC - NYK

[StickArenaGames]

@matassatk1 that's funny NYK don't play defense, and as you know, "defense win championships."

[RapExclusive1]

@matassatk1 lol

[leadingradar]

@matassatk1 LoL, you forgot to put Miami in there buddy.

[gauthierrabederexq]

So my team mate NBA finally told me how he started dunking, he s not even as tall as me but leaps over 8 inches taller! So he followed the training plan over at "50inchvertical (dot) com" and gained over 15 inches in his vertical jump!

[Bionickle]

Webber must have been high! shot blockers?! How about Serge Iblocka!!!!!!!

[topografer]

Top 3 teams for the new season will be bulls, OKC, Heat for me.. I doubt dallas will do it again and celtics/lakers are always great but i do believe the other teams i mentiones are more eager to win a championship!

[justinxaz]

@topografer fuck off why wont dallas bitch?

[topografer]

@justinxaz I think dallas were fucking amazing cause they wanted a championship like hell!! They are also a really deep team but now that key players got their ring, they won't be so eager for another one, at least so soon.. Also that's only my opinion, relax, i can be wrong anytime

[MrPeterEHansen]

wat do u mean they need a shot blocker? they serge iblacka and there team is top 5 in the nba in blocked shots per game

[Convisis]

For fuckssake Westbrook give the ball to KD

[lasoogneypubes]

Do one about the Minnesota Timberwolves!! I know they're not that good but they have SO many young and talented players. Love, Beasley, Johnson, Williams, Rubio!! Even if they're bad they're always going to be interesting.

[Xamashi]

fav team right here budddyyy

[SirKraetoz]

Young and talented!! One of my favorite team!!

[FrankEJ05]

Chris Webber didn't do his hair that day

[pdoggtheog]

[jayflysociety101]

if westbrook still ball hogs and acts like he's the star of the team

if i was the GM I'LL TRADE HIM next season.. westbrook is like another future starbury,steve francis

[MrWatchmen759]

why do they call him lizard man

[PSULION315]

and they didnt even mention sefelososha, harden or ibaka

[PSULION315]

kd and russel westbrook = BEAST

[MrHellodude123]

i hope u guys can go on my channel and check my (only) vid...ITS HALARIOUS please...................

[brian27610]

Why does Perkins look like serge ibaka and Glen davis??

[Rebound321]

You guys in OKC should trade Westbrook for Chris Paul, then you got yourself a championship, you cant have a score first PG with Durant. Chris Paul is the best PG in the league, he's in another class passing wise and at getting his teammates involved. I personally think that CP would make Serge Ibaka much better(not saying he's bad) and make life easy for him. Just an outsider looking in, you Thunder fans agree?

[Maniche10]

@Rebound321 Chris Paul is all that .. But dude.. OKC are known for their defense .. And bein in the top in stealing doesnt make u a good defender.. And russel is a much better defender than cp3.. But Chris wont go to OKC.. He wants NY .. Sad sad sad.. xD

[Rebound321]

@Maniche10 Chris knows it's close to impossible to go the Knicks, they dont have trade assets. I said nothing about stealing, OKC is good defensively, not great, maybe with Perk this season great. Russel is not better than CP on D, sorry, you wont get alot of votes on that one outside of OKC, again, i know steals dont show who is a better defender. Rondo is the best D PG, then Chris Paul at #2, not me talking, but guys who make a living covering the NBA.

[paintingXchips]

okc need a pass first pg, celtics need someone to score to ease off on pierce

Rodo for Westbrook?

[JayRicci7891]

So much potential right here. Very dangerous team, with a lot of youth and talent. Wouldnt surprise me to see them make the Finals at least.

[BabyImAcodPlaya]

@JayRicci7891 no not yet! like u said they're still young. they have not matured yet and they need to learn to play together more. but yah great team :)

[tdwpx5]

@JayRicci7891 I think they're very good but not prepared for this season. I can definetley see them winning 2 in the next 10 years though at least.

[vc15heat]

i think he is right on perk. And harden really is a great player. He will join durant and westbrook as they will form their own big three. he has the potential

[HaydenJRogers]

olso nice --- Sent From NBA's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[RedmanATI]

The thumbnail looked like 2k12 ;)

[TwisterUpThere]

i actually thinks the problems lies with durant last playoffs.. durant has to be more agressive in trying the get the ball. if u durant doesnt want the ball, westbrook has no choice but to create a play himself or pass it to the other guys. and because of that, durant starts jacking up shots if he finally gets hold of the ball and usually dont make it.. if durant has the ball from the start, he can create his own shot easily.

[rumandcoke4ever]

share the ball durrant please

[Jaybreezy206]

I miss my Seattle Supersonics... The 206 wants you back!!

[SoggySamburger]

get psyched baby!

[babolatandnikefreak]

YES FIRST COMMENT

[chiliconjacob]

@babolatandnikefreak lol Fail... hilarious

[BKLYNKING]

Chris Webber Fail!!!!

1. Perkins is one of the best one on one post defenders in the league. He proved that against D Howard in the 2010 playoffs.

2. "They need a shot blocker". Serge Ibaka lead the league in blocks last season with 3.1

C-Webb is usually on point.... Get a hair cut and pass the dutchy pon de left!

[ASmoove05]

@BKLYNKING Your right but KP still isnt a fit for OKC, chemistry wise first off,

[tboyboo1]

@BKLYNKING lmaoooo well said

[CDRacer3]

@BKLYNKING Very true!

[FunkaDunka]

@BKLYNKING where the fuck are you getting these facts from, perkins is terrible and andrew bogut lead the league in blocks fucking idiot

[clutchplayer777]

@FunkaDunka no no no, when you lead the nba in blocks, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have the most blocks in the NBA per game. but i don't like perkins' game either

[24pepperhi]

@FunkaDunka Ibaka lead the league in blocks with 198. Bogut lead the league in blocks per game with 2.6, just saying.

[BKLYNKING]

@FunkaDunka - Pardon the mistake, I was looking at his playoff average. Relax with the internet tough guy routine. Its lame.

[FrostyDutchy]

@BKLYNKING bahahaha this comment is just about what a perfect comment can be.

[jdz101]

@BKLYNKING Perkins was slow to rotate and a fairly poor low post defender after he returned from injury in OKC. He got taken to school by both Nene and Marc Gasol in the playoffs. That was extremely clear. He is too slow for the up tempo OKC style and 9 million a year is way too much to pay for him.

[lbj6mj23]

@BKLYNKING

perkins got owned by randolph and dirk and ibake jumps every damn time someone shoots thats why he get blocks howard was a mental midget in 2010 its 2012 now perkins is overrated bum he is not worth 7 mil

[Dwyane3fly]

@lbj6mj23 i think dirk owned EVERYBODY in the playoffs and randolph was great too, so in my opinion it was not really perkins' fault

[Bluester1234]

Is Kendrick Perkins still in jail?

[ZenoKoninckx04]

So Ibaka isn't a shotblocker, C-Webb?

[FranksLtd]

@ZenoKoninckx04 lol i was thinking that too

[LeanderRyzing]

Maybe sing NeNe?

[ChickenConPolloHD]

If your a thunder fan and don't live in OKC, your a bandwagon fan.

[Blacklash2k4]

@ChickenConPolloHD No it doesn't. I don't live in OKC and I like watching the Thunders play. I don't live in Dallas and I like watching the Mavs play. Your comment is just unjustified BS!

[ChickenConPolloHD]

@Blacklash2k4 Um, the Mavs have been in Dallas for quite some time now.... you obviously don't get what I mean't.

[northcarolinaname]

@ChickenConPolloHD how? you cant be a fan of any other team besides your home team?

[M4TTBURKE]

Durant is already at the next level

[tholds]

they need a shot-blocker?
